Listen, Process and Learn
It’s true, men are all created equal. We all have the ability to better ourselves, to live honorably, peacefully and to give and recieve love but experiences and other’s actions can temporarily get in the way of our path. If we all try to look upon eachother as having the same desires, fears, and need for love, we can live more peacefully. The only thing one can each do to move through difficult times is to know that you can and must handle yourself with grace and honesty. If you don’t perform from a lower consciousness and judgement you can bet your bottom dollar that you will be alright in the long run.
It can be hard to not react to others who slight you, but I assure you to stoop to someone else’s anger isn’t the solution ever. We cannot control other’s perceptions of us, we can only behave as ourselves. If you have a strong sense of self, you will never falter, you will never wish to create in someone else hurt. Only experience and time will illustrate this. These negative feelings do nothing but harm us and others. I have learned from Dr. Henry Grayson that we are all connected. Our thoughts, actions and words are powerful. If they aren’t spoken aloud, they can still be felt. They can cause us and others damage. It should be your only wish to be positive, calm, and neutral. Listen, process and learn. Remember, there is no situation that is irreparable. There is no state of mind which cannot be changed. There is no person who is better than the next. There are only differences of perception. That is what makes the world an ever changing place. Our thoughts change moment to moment, and if we can all come to the conclusion of understanding and being open to other’s perceptions, explain to one another our thoughts, things always work out. Reflection and introspection are necessary to grow and learn. Our unconscious mind can drive our car, if we let it. Our unconscious mind is our ego self. The false self, and you know when you are operating from it if you run and blame, and threaten people. It is not optimal to intentionally create discomfort in others, when it is the hardest, you need to really reach within yourself and think about what you might say or do because you cannot undo it. It this thought or action productive? Is this going to yield a good result? Is this other person going to feel good or bad as a result of what I am going to say or threaten to do? If you know that it isn’t going to make someone feel good, then don’t do it. If your first instinct is to lash out, don’t do it, stop and walk away. You will feel much better for it. End of story.
